Improved survival of viral hepatocellular carcinoma but non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma from 2000 to 2020: A multicenter cohort study of 6007 patients from high-volume academic centers in Japan.

The prevalence of non-viral HCC is increasing. Although the survival of patients with viral HCC improved significantly over the past two decades, there was no improvement in patients with non-viral HCC. This was presumably due mainly to lower surveillance among patients with non-viral HCC and failure to diagnose early-stage HCC.

Exhaustion of CD39-expressing CD8+ T cells in Crohn's disease is linked to clinical outcome.

These data show a role for the exhaustion of peripheral CD39-expressing CD8 T cell subsets in CD. Their low frequency illustrates the utility of single-cell cytometry methods for identification of relevant immune populations. Importantly, the link of their exhaustion status to the clinical activity and their specific gene signatures have implications for exhaustion-based personalized medicine approaches.

Environmental and Health Outcomes of Single-Use versus Reusable Duodenoscopes.

Although SDs may provide incremental public health benefit compared to RD, it comes at a substantially higher cost to the environment. As infection rate continues to decrease from more regimented cleaning protocols and enhanced designs such as disposable endcaps to facilitate cleaning, the negative impact to human health from contaminated RDs could be comparable to SDs.

SDHA/B reduction promotes hepatocellular carcinoma by facilitating the deNEDDylation of cullin1 and stabilizing YAP/TAZ.

Our study demonstrated that SDHA/B reduction promotes HCC proliferation by preventing the proteasomal degradation of YAP/TAZ through modulating cullin1 NEDDylation, thus addicts SDH-deficient HCC cells to YAP/TAZ pathway and renders these cells vulnerable to YAP/TAZ inhibition. Our findings warrant further investigation on the therapeutic effects of targeting YAP/TAZ in HCC patients displaying reduced SDHA/B or elevated succinate levels.

Implementation of a Controlled Human Infection Model for Evaluation of HCV Vaccine Candidates.

Importantly, the study design (including number of volunteers required, cost, duration of study and risk to volunteers) varies significantly depending on the proposed mechanism of action (sterilizing/rapid viral clearance vs delayed viral clearance) of the vaccine under evaluation. We conclude that an HCV CHIM is now realistic, that safety and ethical concerns can be addressed with the right study design, and that without an HCV CHIM it is difficult to envisage how the development of an HCV vaccine will be possible.

Enterochromaffin Cells-Gut Microbiota Crosstalk: Underpinning the Symptoms, Pathogenesis, and Pharmacotherapy in Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction.

We explored the knowledge gap and attempted to suggest new perspectives of physiological and pathophysiological insights of DGBIs, such as (1) functional heterogeneity of regionally distributed EC cells throughout the entire GI tract; (2) potential pathophysiological mechanisms mediated by EC cell defect in DGBIs; (3) cellular and molecular mechanisms characterizing EC cells and gut microbiota bidirectional communication; (4) differential modulation of EC cells through GI segment-specific gut microbiota; (5) uncover whether crosstalk between EC cells and (i) luminal contents; (ii) enteric nervous system; and (iii) central nervous system are core mechanisms modulating gut-brain homeostasis; and (6) explore the therapeutic modalities for physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms mediated through EC cells. Insights discussed in this review will fuel the conception and realization of pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic clues to improve the management and clinical care of DGBIs.
